Where can I find example menu for diabetics? How many carbs and calories for a man weight of 215lbs?


Have you not discussed this with a doctor or nurse? Do you have a blood glucose meter? You should.

I’m type 2; my doctor recommends 50 carbs per meal, three times a day. Best carbs are complex carbs (potatos and the like); avoid simple sugars (they’re traumatic to the system). At least the minimum daily of fiber (25 grms), more is better. Drink plenty of water. Veggies are good snacks; salad is a good filler when you feel hungry, for a snack. There are a lot of foods that used to be "forbidden," but now have low-carb versions — even ice cream. Take blood sugar reading mornings after you wake up. If below 72, drink a small glass of juice to bring your blood sugar up, then eat your morning meal.
